A Legacy Of Disdain For The American People

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." -Barack Obama

The United States of America is, as Mr. Obama said early in his presidency, exceptional — but only in the same sense that every other country in the world is exceptional. Meaning, there is nothing exceptional whatsoever about the United States. -Charles Hurt

Barack Obama isn’t known for humility, though rarely has his lack of grace been more on display than in his final hours in office. The nation rejected his agenda. The president’s response? To shove more of that agenda down the nation’s gullet.

But perhaps nothing has more underlined the Obama arrogance than his final flurry of midnight regulations. With each new proposed rule or executive order, Mr. Obama is spitefully mocking the nation that just told him “enough.” -Kimberley A. Strassel

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania," Obama said, "and, like, a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate, and they have not.

And it's not surprising then they get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." -Emmett Rensin

Responding to an angry constituent’s letter about the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama allegedly used a sexually charged derogatory term referring to members of the Tea Party movement. ... ‘I... appreciate your concern about the toxic political environment right now. I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been “targeted and ridiculed” or that I have “made fun” of tea-baggers,’ Obama allegedly wrote.

WASHINGTON -- Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues.

Energy secretary Steven Chu is a big fan of energy efficiency. He wishes the rest of the country would grow up, too.

Jonathan Gruber Calls Americans

Too Stupid To Understand Obamacare

They just lied to people.

“But frankly, he should never have said as much as he did, that if you like your current health care plan, you can keep it. That wasn’t true. And you shouldn’t lie to people. And they just lied to people.”

Gruber, an MIT economics professor, was videotaped saying the “stupidity of the American voter” was key to getting the Obamacare reform passed. His comments sparked outrage and a congressional hearing.

“The key point here is that this is not really about making it difficult on Donald Trump. If Trump did this great tour of the country and they called it a ‘victory tour’ or a ‘thank you tour,’ Obama seems to be doing a — um, I’ve been trying to figure out the right language so I don’t get fined by the FCC — an f-you tour. I guess that’s the best way to put it.” -Frank Luntz
